My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hello! My name is Adonis, and here's my story - I was on the lam for months in the wintertime and several rescuers tried to trap me. Of course, I was very suspicious since I did not know of their intentions, and I managed to avoid them all. But the snows came, it was cold, and I was getting weary. Rescuers continued to provide food and water, but by the time I arrived at the feeding station, racoons had already been there and dined. Between them and the weather, there was not much to eat. I managed to survive the winter and in the spring, as I was waiting at the feeding station, a nice lady arrived with provisions. I looked at her and she at me and I made a choice. I did not run. This was the day. She bent down and stroked my back and it felt good. She returned to her car, then placed a carrier in front of me and I climbed in, and this turned out to be a great decision. After taking a long look at me, she named me Adonis, which I find most appropriate since it means "a very handsome young man".

I am warm and safe in a foster home, well cared for and much loved. My foster parents brought home more rescues, and yes, I must admit I love thundering through the house with my hooligan counterparts and jumping over anything in our way. I adore my foster mom, but am longing for more attention and someone to love and lavish me with their praise. I have not been exposed to dogs.

If you are looking for a pal and interested in adopting me, here is what I can do for you: 

I will watch TV with you while resting by your side.
I will assist while you are preparing dinner.
I will entertain myself and chase toys all over the room.
I will be delighted to lounge for hours, snoozing on top of a cat tree.
I will be available for a cuddle, just call to me and I will come.

I am an energetic, active, playful, and adoring feline looking for a companion. I want someone to love me, to care for me, and to make sure I get my daily fluoxetine so I can maintain my meticulous litterbox habits. It’s an anxiety issue, it’s not a medical issue. If you are looking for a companion and someone to love, please let your choice be me!

Adonis was born around April 2021 . He is currently being lovingly fostered in Woodbury. He is fixed, is up-to-date on shots, is microchipped and tested neg for FIV/FeLV* 

All of our cats and kittens are cared for in loving foster homes. "Meet and greets" can be arranged only after an application has been submitted and approved. Application for adoption can be found at  https://www.fosterandforever.org/    

Our volunteers do their best to respond within 24 - 48 hrs.

Meet the Pet

We are a foster-based rescue. All our cats reside in private homes. A meet-and-greet can be arranged for approved adopters only.

Additional adoption info

The first step in our adoption process is to fill out an adoption application, which can be found on our website at www.fosterandforever.org. If all is well on your application, we will contact you about setting up a home visit by one of our volunteers.

**Please give your vet permission to release information to us as we check references.

The adoption fee for our cats covers the cost of spaying/neutering, age appropriate routine vaccinations, deworming, snap test, and flea preventive treatment. Some of our older cats are offered at a reduced fee in order to encourage placement in a permanent home.

Thank you for your interest in adopting from Foster and Forever Pet Rescue!

NOTE: For the safety of our cats and adopter’s children, families with children under 5 years of age will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

Go meet their pets

All of our pets reside in foster homes. We do not have a shelter. Once an application is approved (for any cat), arrangements can be made to meet the cat of your choice.

More about this rescue

Foster and Forever Pet Rescue Inc. is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit rescue that was founded in 2011. We have been working since then to improve the lives of abandoned, abused and homeless animals by serving as an umbrella under which foster homes will provide care for homeless animals until loving permanent homes can be found.

We provide spay/neuter services and all necessary medical care, as well as food and supplies, and find foster homes to care for the animals we rescue until we are able to find them forever homes. For additional information, visit our web site at www.fosterandforever.org, and be sure to check us out on Facebook and Instagram.
